answer和reply的用法区别

作者: admin来源: 网络文章 时间: 2019-03-13

1. answer是常用词,可指口头、笔头,甚至行动回答,有时可与reply通用。如:

Who can answer the question?

Please answer the telephone.

 

2. reply较answer正式,既可指用语言、书面作答,也可指用动作或手势作答,常用于正式场合或书面语中,指经过慎重考虑作出的答复。如:

I sent in my application,and the school replied immediately.

I don't know what to reply.

 

注意:

在表示回答问题时,answer后直接跟question;reply后要加介词to。试比较:

answer the question回答问题;reply to the question回答问题。
